It's hard to control that damn ego as a young man. I think we are all guilty of it. Wilder never improved on anything bc of it. I never seen a champion with almost no skills win a belt than Wilder. It's the oddest thing I've ever seen in boxing. Once Fury took away his right hand, he showed the world that he was a one trick pony. It's weird to me that so much better boxers that faced Wilder couldn't figure that out. Get inside & push him on his heels. I said this from the beginning. Ortiz tried to counter punch him. No, attack him, he has no skills. Ortiz just wasn't one to attack, very weird Anyway, Wilder needs to check that ego of his or he's going to go down a very lonely & dark world. Salud fellas. Enjoy the next big fight.

George re invented himself and caused the mothers of all upsets age 45 . oldest champ ever. Turned logic on its head . I shall never forget it . Will Wilder be able to get humble and reinvent himself and become an agreeable likable fellow like Bog George ? NO WAY. Wilder does not have the brains or the charm. I rise my glass to BIG George . I abstain from rising it for wilder . A sore and very bitter loser who is full of hate an loathing . I even noticed that Wilder is not particicualary liked by fellow americans apart from his die hard voodoo fans .

Which he said was so weird to see, knowing who he was and all. But the best part was that he said that even though he was kind and gentle. He said he had this intimidating presence about him. that let you know who the baddest man on campus was. All of this coming from a corn fed, 6’4 330 pound monster of a man. 😂😂

I also remember, when you fought Joe Frazier from Philly. You hit him with a right upper cut, so hard his feet lifted off the canvas. I have to say I was pissed off at you, only because I was born and raised from North Philadelphia and real close to where Joe worked prior to becoming a boxer. I just wanting say, I appreciate you totally and for you to take care of yourself. Thank you for the great memories. Bill

Sugar Hill Steward will get the credit for Tyson Fury's win. However, it was not for John Fury, TF would have lost that fight. If JF had not insisted that TF come back to London to relearn his elusiveness and awkwardness, TF would not have used both that style and the Kronk style in the fight against Wilder. If TF solely relied on the guidance from Hill Steward, he would have lost in the 5th round. After all, he was knocked down twice by Wilder because he was too one-dimensional. Once TF applied the elusiveness and other Team Fury boxing skills,he was able to escape from Wilder's clutches to eventually get the victory.

@jameskellogg833 жыл бұрын
@Bo Mo Tyson Fury is certainly better than Jerry Cooney was. Tyson Fury is in fact a very skilled boxer. I saw all of Cooney's major fights and some of his less major ones. Cooney was not very good. Larry Holmes who beat Cooney was an all time great. Cooney had a big left hook but he was relatively slow and had a questionable chin. The only big name fighters he beat such as Ken Norton, Ron Lyle and Jimmy Young were over the hill and at the end of their careers. In fact Cooney lost to pretty much every major fighter that he fought if they were still good. He was knocked out by Larry Holmes, knocked out by Michael Spinks, who was a small heavyweight champion and destroyed by George Foreman. - And that was George Foreman during his comeback when he was in his 40's. It was not Foreman in his 20's when he was in his prime. Deontay Wilder is not a great fighter. I would call him a mediocre fighter who can punch very hard. Fury is actually quite a good fighter.

20 years after losing it to Muhammad Ali in 1974, George made 3 successful defenses against Alex Schulz, Crawford Grimsley & Lou Saverese before losing for the final time against Shannon Briggs. Knockout wins over Frazier (twice) Norton & Moorer, all much smaller look very good on his record. Yet, he never truely dominated the heavyweight division for a long period of time, which should count against him. Foreman was 7-3 in title fights, which isn’t that impressive compared to Joe Louis (26-1) Larry Holmes (21-5) and Lennox Lewis (15-2-1), who were all far more dominant champions. Who did he beat? He won part of the title, yet he never proved he was the best in the division. There were a lot of good big Power hitters around in the early-mid 90’s, yet he defended against undercard B-Level fighters Schulz, Grimsley and Saverese, of which Foreman was gifted 2 outta 3 of those fights. He should have fought at least one legitimate contender or attempted to unify the titles after beating Moorer. Even if Foreman lost, which I’m pretty sure he would have considering his advanced age, he would have been far greater in defeat in my eyes. Why not lose to Riddick Bowe or Lennox Lewis rather than Shannon Briggs? George Foreman was a great fighter, but looking back over his career, I believe he is definitely overrated as a heavyweight champion based on his achievements.

Foreman was such a great fighter. He got outboxed by Ali but NOBODY ever matched Ali's skill, during the era in which he fought. And for Foreman to come back the way he did in the 1990s, well after all the other big men had long since hung them up, was nothing short of astounding. And to do it with a resounding knockout of a fighter in his prime, all the more so. Thanks for the memories big George. You were ALL class, all the time. And I'd probably pick you as the greatest of all time.

gotta have a sharp eye, to let the big guys work, in the clinch. it's dangerous, because it's easy to commit fouls on the inside and it's enticing for weaker fighters, to try and won by fouling.

Are we going to ignore Fury saying some awful about Wilder's mother? He said something that has to do with Wilder crawling out of his mother's private area. The fact that all wilder did was ignore Fury after the fight, actually shows how reserved and disciplined he was trying to be.

20 years after losing it to Muhammad Ali in 1974, George made 3 successful defenses against Alex Schulz, Crawford Grimsley & Lou Saverese before losing for the final time against Shannon Briggs. Knockout wins over Frazier (twice) Norton & Moorer, all much smaller look very good on his record. Yet, he never truely dominated the heavyweight division for a long period of time, which should count against him. Foreman was 7-3 in title fights, which isn’t that impressive compared to Joe Louis (26-1) Larry Holmes (21-5) and Lennox Lewis (15-2-1), who were all far more dominant champions. Who did he beat? He won part of the title, yet he never proved he was the best in the division. There were a lot of good big Power hitters around in the early-mid 90’s, yet he defended against undercard B-Level fighters Schulz, Grimsley and Saverese, of which Foreman was gifted 2 outta 3 of those fights. He should have fought at least one legitimate contender or attempted to unify the titles after beating Moorer. Even if Foreman lost, which I’m pretty sure he would have considering his advanced age, he would have been far greater in defeat in my eyes. Why not lose to Riddick Bowe or Lennox Lewis rather than Shannon Briggs? George Foreman was a great fighter, but looking back over his career, I believe he is definitely overrated as a heavyweight champion based on his achievements.

@@Bronco_Billy_Jack_Hills well, he had 76 wins and 5 losses, and the majority of those losses came from his later years, his only big upsets in his younger days being Ali and Lyle. To top it off, his amateur record was 22-4, being altogether 98-9. That's still more impressive than people like Tyson, not to mention Foreman fought amazing boxers like Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, beating Moorer in his old age, those really say something.

The rest were not much better similar to washed up handicapped cruiserweight Joe Frazier who was puffed up with diabetes, high blood pressure and only had one 👁️ eye (no disrespect but true). "My left eye went when I was young. I was working the speed bag and some steel went in the eye and scratched it to pieces. I was blind in that eye. Some doctors were my best friends.

@@georgelabauve3469 Foreman was relatively unknown when he challenged Joe Frazier for his heavyweight crown in 1973, that's why he was a 3 to 1 underdog going in. Frazier had slipped since beating Ali in 1971. That fight had taken a lot out of him and Joe was 10 pounds heavier when he got into the ring with George. The only names on Foreman's record that stood out were 19-5 B-Level punchbag Chuck Wepner and 59-16 214 lb 6'0" George Chuvalo. Foreman's greatest win at his best was against little one 👁️ Joe inside two rounds. After knocking out the overmatched 54-27 5'10 196 lbs Jose Roman in the 1st, Foreman scored his second best career win against Ken Norton, who just broke Ali's jaw. 210 lb Norton's philly shell defense was atrocious against Foreman. George destroyed Kenny, again in under 2 rounds. This was the high point of his career. When George agreed to fight Ali, many feared he would seriously hurt the aging 32 year old former champion. ( 32 is still young, Wladimir fought Joshua in fight of the year at 41. Archie Moore fought Ali at 48 and Lewis beat Tyson and prime Vitali at 37. What was Ali doing at 37? He couldn't talk and his tremors were getting worse ..it's not how you start IT'S HOW YOU FINISH )

@@georgelabauve3469 Foreman was always a slugger, never a patient slick boxer. That's why after the 3rd round, commentator Joe Frazier said, "George is rushing himself and not staying calm, he's not going to last." Frazier saw exactly what we all saw. Foreman Panicked in the sweltering heat and humidity which exceeded 90 percent and punched himself out, flailing away like a wild kitty cat. Ali sensed what was happening and patiently waited till George fell over ..And OMG did you see how ILLEGALLY LOOSE those ropes were!!! They were loose enough to allow Ali to avoid getting hit in the head leaving Foreman no choice but to go after the body. What should have been Ali's most difficult fight was actually one of his easiest. Fans worldwide demanded an immediate rematch but Ali knew better. If Ali was really the greatest why didn't he prove it instead of running 🏃💨 back to washed up one 👁️ Although Foreman went on to humiliate overrated one 👁️ for a second time after his loss to Ali, it was clear he was not the same fighter. He was knocked down twice and looked very vulnerable against Ron Lyle in their slugfest. Then several easy fights later, George was humiliated again, this time by featherfisted 19% KO's Jimmy Young. Being devastated and depressed Foreman retired from boxing.
